I remember seeing something around here about them this year, but I can't seem to find it. What is going on with them this year? Lots of losses. They usually have a solid team and they have a real good coach.
 
They had several girls quit. They had a player get hurt. I guess the coach is being accused of being too rough on the girls. He yelled at them and hurt their feelings and a bunch quit. Player are so soft now. He literally led them to the championship game a few years ago without any issues and now he will be looking for a new job next year.

That is sad. He has done a good job there. Times are really strange right now.
 
He’s a good coach and tries to get the most out of his players. They are so many programs that hardly have enough players to fill a varsity team. So many kid quit because they are entitled and parents think the second they become high schoolers they have a right to play varsity sports. Coaches have to coach different now then they ever have. So many parents won’t allow coaches to do their jobs. This is why it’s harder and harder to find good coaches or people who are even willing to coach. It’s going to get worse. Hats off to Grant for continuing to coach his team to the best of his abilities.

They dropped out of Stockton tournament. I heard they had another player get hurt. I imagine their season is probably over.
 
They have a few good players that may transfer out now. I imagine they are pretty upset.

They have 1 good player and I doubt she goes anywhere. She was an all state volleyball player and Mt. Vernon should be pretty good next year in Volleyball. The players that quit were not very good, they were going to struggle this year anyway. They will not be relevant in Basketball for several years to come. Volleyball on the other hand they will be relevant.
 
I saw it coming a couple of yrs ago when their jv team was really bad. They were better than I expected last season though and like everyone has been saying they have a good coach, but even the best coach can’t do well without talent
 
It seems like they have had several season ending injuries. We had a football team a few years ago at CJ that wasn't doing well and guys would sprain their ankle and say the injury was season ending

Sometimes a team will just get hit with injuries. I know Miller is down 2 starters right now. They will hopefully get the point guard back this week.
 
Spoke to a coach last night that was more than a little pissed about it. Said he called Grant and told him to “suit your goddamn players up. You can’t win 25 games a year all the time. You don’t kill a season because you’re non-competitive.” Said that a bunch of ADs and coaches got together and agreed to dump Mt Vernon from future scheduling.
 
I don't think it was as much about not being competitive as the fact they only had 5 players. If one player gets sick or hurt you would not be able to start a game with 4 players. The teams that now have openings can scramble and find other games. I'm pretty sure Mt. Vernon or Grant don't give a sh!t about your pissed coach. The idea that a bunch of ADs and coaches got together and agreed to dump them from future scheduling just sounds like some stupid made up Sh!t. The games they are missing are conference games. Let me guess they are going to kick them out of the conference too.

They had more than 5 girls. Only had 5 varsity. Play the other kids. Stupid made up sh!t is saying you’re cancelling ALL games at ALL levels. The hell with the young ones, right?

They did not in fact have more than 5 girls. No JV team. No freshman team. 5 girls for the entire team. And some of those are freshman.

Everything that I’ve read and everyone I’ve talked to has said that they only had 5 players that weren’t injured. There was no JV players to move up because most of their 7 total players they had, were all underclassmen and one tore an ACL and another waiting to find out if it’s a tear which leaves them with 5 players total that can play if they don’t get sick or injured.
 
The confusion is in how the article was written by KY3. When I read it I automatically thought why don’t they pull kids from JV.

Did.Not.Happen.
 
Man people are awful. Reading some of the online comments on social media. Everyone has all the answers and just freely throws out insults and accusations against a highly regarded coach. So dumb.

They only had 5 girls period. No jv no freshman. If you have no idea what your talking about its probably better to just shut up.
